This is what I keep telling y'all
The US was far worse than us in terms of unity!
They had folks from different parts of Europe coming to live on same soil
Somehow, they got along, except times like the American Civil War, when the North which was against slavery was opposing the South, who wanted to retain slavery. The president, Abraham Lincoln, was in the North 's side, that is the Union states, and the South, just like Biafra, under the name of the Confederate States, self-seceeded and had to fight, in which they lost, just like Biafra!



Hey, but take a look at the United States of America! You all should be embarrassed. These people went through worse than division, and yet, they're now one, developed, world leader nation.
I hope all ye Igbo and Yoruba tribalists learn from them.

Very diverse, but unified nation!

Good analysis.

Let's hope the unrepentant tribalists will have a rethink.
